Another was out on the slopes skiing and, having drunk herb liqueur from his hipflask, had now stopped for a hot chocolate. The taste also split the Panel: it was either spicy and dry, like a hot and dirty martini using cayenne pepper and spiked olives, or very playful, bringing dark chocolate biscuits, treacle and mint chocolates. Diluted, we tucked into borscht made with beets, beef shank, onions, carrots, potatoes and cabbage, and topped with sour cream. On the palate we had sticky toffee pudding in a pewter bowl and red wine in a plastic bottle. Following nine years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this whisky into a second fill American oak PX hogshead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Tomintoul \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTomintoul Distillery, established in 1964 in Scotland's\u003cspan\u003e Cairngorms National Park\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, is known for producing \"the gentle dram,\" a Speyside single malt scotch whisky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e characterized by its smooth, mellow profile.

The concept behind the society was to source casks from all over Scotland which would then be bottled and made available exclusively to its members. Perhaps the most famous feature of these bottles are the unique codes. Each distillery is represented by a different number and the following digits indicate that particular release. That same year, the SMWS set up its first location in Leith’s Vault buildings in Edinburgh where it still stands today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e59.5% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tomintoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54524556345669,"sku":"000321","price":139.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4666639448_35987280-f0be-48a7-adc3-24cfbc3982e4.jpg?v=1746553560","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/tomintoul-13-year-old-2010-swms-single-cask-89-20-a-rodeo-bull-ride-2024-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
